Issue 2

Membership and New Club Development Month

from RVing and Camping to Beer, Wine, and Whiskey Fellowships, LGBT+, Birdwatching, Bees, and a host of others. Find a topic that interests you and invite some of your friends to join you in one of their events. They have members from all around the world, so there's always something to talk about!

Look outside the box for opportunities to give the gift of Rotary.

On a completely different note, so far I have visited 17 clubs from Cal-Mum to Canandaigua, Gananda to Prattsburg, Geneva and Honeoye Lake to Rochester and Rochester Deaf Rotary, as part of my role as District Governor, and I have been so pleased with the activities and camaraderie exhibited at every club I have been to. Every club has something different to offer, and the smallest clubs seem to have the biggest projects. Plus, you all seem to really like each other! It's really a credit to each and every one of you that you have managed to stay connected over this very difficult period. Bravo! I raise a glass to you.

One of RI President Shekhar Mehta's messages this year is Each One Bring One. Sounds easy. But maybe not for everybody. How about trying something completely different? Did you know that there are over 90 Rotary Fellowships? And that you don't have to be a Rotarian to join one? Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience. They range in topics

What is the Rotary Foundation's Endowment Fund?

Gifts to the Rotary Foundation's Endowment Fund ensure that future Rotarians will have the resources they need to design and implement sustainable projects year after year. Donations to the Endowment Fund can be made as an outright gift or a planned gift, such as a bequest in your estate plan. As of the 2018-2019 year, Rotary's Endowment totals $374.5 million, with $828.9 million in commitments.

Contributions to this fund are invested for the future. Only earnings on investments are used to support Rotary programs so that your generosity goes on to do good in the world in perpetuity.

What is YOUR Rotary legacy? Our Endowment Fund committee can help you make your lasting impact and we are just a phone call away! (Submitted by PDG Jeff Krans)

Due to COVID-19 and other challenges, our district did not hold RLI in 2020; however, we are having it this year!!! Save the date of Saturday, October 16, 2021. RLI will be virtual this year due to challenges in securing location. Registration fee is $25.00 per Rotarian and $10.00 per Rotaractor. Registration instructions will be published soon. For now, I am asking all Club Presidents to promote attendance to RLI in their clubs! Inform and encourage members to register. There are 4 Class Parts: Parts 1, 2, 3 and Graduate. If you have never been to any of Rotary Leadership Institute classes before, register for Part 1.
